The Day After

The moving adventure continues. Dick L. was at the house (Royal Oak parsonage) today, doing more work. Two painters were here all day. Friends Susan S. and Debbie C. were also here being amazing helpers, mainly with organizing the kitchen and generally unpacking boxes and washing and putting things away. They came just because they knew I would need help. I always need help, but I am appreciative of the progress we made with their help!

Everyone managed to work around each other's tasks pretty well too (except for the paint on my pants. Woops!).

Susan is a childhood friend who now lives near Chicago. We have often celebrated birthdays together, as they are one day apart. But she is also good at mothering, so she "made" me go outside for fresh air. My doctor had encouraged exercise at last month's check-up, so I have been trying to walk outside more consistently anyway. Also, I have read that even in the midst of fatigue, exercise is encouraged. So Debbie (from Northville, who is a gifted organizer) kindly took extra time to walk around a few blocks with me. Ahhh...

As for food, Amy T. made vegetable soup which Karen and Patrick's family brought over yesterday. Our neighbor's daughter also made us cookies!
